In over twenty years of marriage I don't think I've cooked with eggplant or pine nuts 3 times. I couln't find fresh mint, I substituted dried, it was nonexsistant. The dish was delicious, Giada always allows the individual their own salt prference. I did add quite a bit of salt pepper and fresh grataed cheese. When my kids first saw the pine nuts they turned their nose up and later agreed they added a lot to they dish. We all voted, this dish is a keeper.

Easy and delicious. I usually prepare a recipe for the first time as it is writen before adjusting and I was not disappointed. Just the right amount of kick. I only omitted the nuts because my family does not care for nuts in anything, but other than that, this is definitly a keeper especially for meals that I want to eliminate meat.

This was so tasty. We added more garlic and then some capers at the end, but this dish was really good! It is now one of our weekly specials. Yum

Well, I can never make a recipe usually without altering it. Instead of tossing the veggies in olive oil, I used italian dressing. I also added red pepper and onion to the vegetables and roasted them as well. The eggplant made it creamy and delicious and my whole family loved it! Thanks Giada!

This dish tasted like mushy eggplant. There was very little flavor and normally I think Giada's recipes are great. Unfortunately this is the first one I have not liked and I would not recommend it at all.

Well this recipe is OK, I followed the recipe and it comes out very bland. After this dish is prepared you have to add ALOT of salt and pepper. I will ajust this recipe with more tomotoes and maybe some bell peppers.

I added the red bell pepper as other reviewers suggested and also put in an extra pint of tomatoes, half a yellow onion and doubled the garlic so I could get more veggies in. I left out the mint and sprinkled some dried oregano on the veggies before I roasted it. It was super easy and delicious. I personally thought the amount of red pepper the recipe called for was perfect. Just the right amount of kick. I will definitely be making this again.

I won't lie, I always tweak every recipe I make regardless of who came up with it. I ended up leaving out the mint and completely forgot to add the red pepper flakes (which I regret since I love spicy dishes. I did however add more tomatoes than the recipe called for and I threw in two sausages. I used my immersion blender and the result was a delicious, hearty sauce. The extra tomatoes meant lots of leftovers which I plan on putting to use as a base for lasagna. I can't wait!!
